Staff thank-you lunches are another reason homes book us. We’re often asked to cater family days with visitors and garden fêtes, serving rotisserie chicken, thinly carved roast pork and apple sauce.
Smaller homes around Whitehill may only have a modest garden, so send us a picture and we will tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count families and staff too
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
A named contact in the home helps on the day.
Chicken can be added.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September sunset in Whitehill is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
